Software I use

Inspired by Alex Bosworth’s list of software he use, here’s mine. I will try to keep this updated as it evolves.

Windows XP: Runs on my laptops, still required for some software for work.
Ubuntu: Runs on home server. Would like to use it for the laptop as soon as possible
Firefox: browser supreme
Microsoft Office: for work related documents
OpenOffice: for personal documents (in ODF format)
PSPad: text editor of choice.
Subversion: used for storing and versioning all types of files
Eclipse: Used for all types of Java development. I use it with some plugins. Subclipse: Subversion client, Quantum DB: database administration tool, Mavenide: Used mainly to sync Maven with the Eclipse project.
µTorrent: excellent BitTorrent client
foobar2000: lean MP3 player
GTalk and Trillian: IM clients, still not sure if these are really the best options
VMWare: for testing and development on other platforms
Password Safe: for storing all types of passwords in a safe way
Putty: for SSH access to servers everywhere
WinSCP: for moving files to remote servers
wikidpad: for taking notes
Baretail: excellent GUI tail
